Burn-E Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Might want to check the tension on your accelerator cable that attaches to the throttle body. It's the cable coming out of the throttle cover outlined in the middle red box. You loosen and tighten with a nut on the thread next to the cover. http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/157329-gas-pedal-dead-spot-on-850-t5-m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Probably leaking from the small turbo coolant lines. Coolant leaks and evaporates quickly on the hot manifold/ heat shield. Other source could be heater lines at the bulkhead.. 16 hours ago, Dontcallmekenneth said: I should have most of the parts to do a tune up by next week. I haven't discovered the actual leak from the radiator. all i know is that it doesn't seem to be coming from any of the radiator hoses. I will probably buy the radiator next week. gas milage sucks as well. I was just wondering, is the gas pedal on these usually hard? when I do drive it around, I feel like I have to mash the pedal to get any decent acceleration.
